GNUstep package creation automation project/process.

  • What: This is a project to digitilize the process of creating GNUstep environment for a perticular OS platform to install/remove GNUstep easily thus encourge the deployment of GNUstep in corporate environment. And the pacakge creation process can be reproduced easliy by others with commands.
  • Why: There are lots of time spent from experienced GNUsteppers to new GNUsteppers. Time should be spent on the GNUstep developement not on compling and packaging process.

Plan

  • Introduce CPAM(Cross-Platform Application Management) tool implemented by TWW Inc. to GNUstep CPAD community
   ** Cross-Platform is easier said then done becuase each platform's features are barriers for others.
  • Release GNUstep package source implemented by TWW CPAM.
   ** I will release a working package source for others to try and review. 
   ** The package soruces can generate native package format for RHAS rpm,Solaris pkgadd and HP-UX depot formats. 
  • Write tutorial on learning TWW CPAM.
  ** I am willing to help/assist a few person to get familliar with TWW tools
     if they promise me to write up what they learned in a tutorial article.
     As you can see I am really not good on documenation work.
  • Integrate GNUstep developement process with TWW CPAM.
  • More details TBA once I get familiar with mediawiki.
  • Following lines can be deleted later. I just want to make above out of nohere text not treated as spam.
  • My name is T.J. Yang, I have been working as a system administator for the past decade. I am intrested to work on this task. Please see the above plan to get this task done. Please leave your comment here. or use the discussion(which I don't know how to use it yet).
  I have used their CPAM to bring  open-source  software under control. 
  The TWW tools and sources of their supported packages are GPL open-source 
  free of charge but not their support labor.
